Mar 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma is all about the hops - tropical fruits, citrus, pine and a hint of caramel. Flavour is rather sweet and, of course, very hoppy. Very alike the aroma: tropical fruits, pineapple, pine and some resin with a hint of caramel. Yet another good beer from Great Divide.

Mar 18, 2008 12oz Bottle. Pours a nice clear amber with a frothy white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is a solid floral, pine and citrus. The palate is medium-bodied, slick, almost creamy, and rounds out with a nice bitter finish. The flavor is among the best IPAs that I’ve sampled to date. Nicely balanced, it’s a bit of a change from many that I’ve tried. It started bitter, swings to a malty sweetness and toggles back to a hop finish. The aftertaste is interesting. It left my tongue searching for a "home base" as it switched back and forth between sweet and bitter sensations.

Mar 16, 2008 225ml bottle (Kuikka, Helsinki, IPA week 2008)
Rich hazy orange, small head. Quite hoppy aroma, but also lots of sweet malt. Pleasant carbonation, but quite sticky in the mouth. Taste follows the aroma - crisp sharp hops, but loads of zingy spices and bready light malts. Perhaps there’s ginger, but I can’t really identify the spices. A bit yeasty but on the whole well-balanced. Long hoppy and yeasty finish.

Mar 14, 2008 This pours with a big head and settles quickly, it has a large carbonation and a moderate lace. It is a very clear pale caramel with a lovely light noise full of lemon and coriander. The mouth feel is as light as it can be without being watery (lovely). There is initial malty flavor which is just slightly sweet and inviting before the hops become dominate. Naturally bitter (only 65 IBU?) with a slight spiciness, the fades quickly and is extremely pleasant. Overall a lovely if not complex beer.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Amber / brown pour with some off-white head. Aroma is grainy malt and pine hops / grassy. Flavor is pine / grass bitterness, a little metallic, and a little bit of citrus also. The malt and hops in this one are just a bit bland, but good amount of bitterness.
